HAPPIE- Haptic Authoring Pipeline for the Production of Immersive Experiences

“触觉是我们与周围世界的物理联系。触觉技术重现了我们对数字世界的触觉。在创意产业中，触觉主要被应用于电脑游戏反馈和其他利基行业领域(外科手术培训、飞行模拟器)中的振动。随着身临其境体验中触摸的必要性变得明显，人们对触觉的兴趣正在上升。“HAPPIE”(**H**APTIC**A**提供**P**生产**I**融合**E**经验的**P**ipeline)将使触觉内容能够更快、更有效地创建，并提供软件基础设施以允许平稳可靠的内容分发。HAPPIE将解决3个障碍，以启用/加速英国多GB Bn创意产业对触觉的吸收。1.研究和开发与设备无关的触觉中间件，使非专家能够做出面向未来的设计和购买决策。2.研究以及开发与设备无关的触觉创作工具，该工具建立在(1)基础上，以实现新的工作类别“触觉艺术家”。3.研究和开发使用以上AR/VR/XR中的(1)和(2)的多种选择的样本触觉演示。为发展提供信息并验证(1)和(2)的结果，并激励英国创意产业发挥触觉的更广泛潜力。

"The sense of touch is our physical connection to the world around us. Haptic technology recreates our sense of touch for the digital world. Haptics in the creative industries has primarily been applied as vibration in computer game feedback and in other niche industry areas (surgical training, flight simulators). As the necessity for touch in immersive experiences becomes clear, interest in haptics is rising.""HAPPIE"" (**H**aptic **A**uthoring **P**ipeline for the **P**roduction of **I**mmersive **E**xperiences) will enable haptic content to be created faster and more efficiently and provide the software infrastructure to allow smooth and reliable content distribution.HAPPIE will address 3 barriers to enable/accelerate haptics uptake into UK multi-£Bn creative industries.1.Research and development of device independent haptics middleware enabling futureproof design and purchasing decisions for non-experts.2.Research and development of device independent haptics authoring tools built on (1) to enable a new category of job ""Haptic artist"".3.Research and development of a diverse selection of exemplar haptic demonstrations using (1) and (2) above in AR/VR/XR. To inform development and validate the outcome of (1) and (2) and to inspire the UK creative industries as to haptics' wider potential."
